Whether you're undertaking a large kitchen remodeling project or just want to liven things up, refacing your cabinets is a low-cost option. Refacing consists of covering the exterior surfaces of your cabinets with new veneers, moldings and hardware.

Adding new kitchen cabinets, or refinishing or refacing the existing ones, can transform a stale and old-fashioned kitchen. Even those who aren't wishing to immediately sell their homes can find a significant quality of life improvement from updates to cabinetry, be it on a large or small scale. Read on to find out more about kitchen cabinet options, layouts and trends.

Not really. If the contractor is very careful and you are really lucky he might be able to pull them out and then reinstall them after the new cabinets are installed. A lot of this will have to do with how well the counters were installed in the first place. Also, the existing countertops may not line up with the new cabinets exactly in some areas as well as they do now. The better option is to have the cabinets refaced, leaving the boxes and tops in place. Unlless you have deteriorating particle board cabinets you should be able to get a carpenter to do this. If you decide to remove the countertops and install new cabinets factor in new tops and be pleasantly surprised if they can be reinstalled afterall. Realize you probably won't find a contractor willing to gurantee not damaging the tops. If you do, dig in and research him well. He likely doesn't have enough experience.

IF dirty enough to make for a musty odor, then paint won't stick to them properly anyway. Paint is not your solution - you probably need a Deep Cleaning.
Try to pin down what types of smell it is - if damp, mildewy; rotten food; or musty fabric - will help guide you to the source maybe.
Another thing to do is keep all doors closed for a full day when outside temp is such that furnace and A/C can be turned off - then walk around the house, sniffing - preferably with 2 people - and see if one room is the major contributor. I have played this game, and found all the following as sources of musty smells:
1) linen in a closet without ventilation going slightly mildewy
2) water leak in walls or floors enough to cause mold but not drywall staining or visible water
3) carpets needing cleaning
4) water leak in bath or kitchen leaking under floor, causing mold there which is not pronounced in smell because under the flooring
5) attic mildew/mold from leaks or moisture condensation on insulation/wood
6) moldy plants outside - left in garden/flower bed in fall, so rotted in winter/spring
7) clothes in closets touching outside wall, so in very cold weather acted as insulator and let freezing front come to inside of wall, causing frost and moisture to buildup there from the inside moisture, eventually causing mildew/mold (same process as condensation/ice on inside of windows with curtains over them)
8) failure to clean behind kitchen appliances and under sink, or under washer/dryer/dishwasher at least when repaired or changed out
9) heavy lint accumulation in bathroom fan going mildewy
10) grease trap in kitchen exhaust fan never cleaned
11) washing machine going moldy - run a cycle of towels or such with bleach and Borax
12) the number one cause I have found - clothes stacked in closets or hope chests or such for decades get very musty even if clean and ventilated

As long as the counter is big enough Corian is one of the easier ones to work with. Since it does not have the ground or crushed stone that some of the other material have you can work with normal woodworking tools. A saw with a fine tooth carbide blade and a professional grade router with the proper shaped carbde bit can be used if the edge needs finishing. A belt sander helps on cuts also. The only problem you might have is if you need the joint kits for seaming as I dont think you can buy them.

When Corian first came out I could buy the slabs and fabricate my own tops and then Dupont went to a certified distributor system and would no longer sell to those of us that had been working with it for years. I will admit that they did have reasons for this as not all that were working with the product were doing it right.

I contacted

Stock with

for replacement cabinet doors and drawer fronts for several rooms in our home. He provided pricing for different cabinet styles and wood types. I wasn't sure if I wanted a shaker-style or raised panel cabinet doors, so

built me a sample door for me ...More in each style to consider and dropped them off for me to 'live with' for awhile.
I ordered raised-panel solid ash wood door fronts for my living room built-in cabinets. I asked for them to be installed unfinished so that my own painter could finish them (rather than have him paint them in his shop). No problem,

was happy to do this small job for me.

is a master carpenter, a good salesman, provided a great product at a fair price, and he was always quick replying to email and phone calls. The doors were installed yesterday - they look terrific - I love the self-closing new hinges. I hadn't selected knobs or handles yet - so he provided a template to help me painter line up the drill holes once I selected my hardware.
I will definitely call Marot Contractors for other replacement cabinet doors and drawers in my home. Thanks

!

From the minute

came into our home to give us an estimate we were comfortable and confident about him. He was extremely polite, and soft spoken ( no hard selling ) and we appreciated that.
I had put off this project for years , resisting the idea of "gutting" the kitchen and ripping out the original cabinets which ...More were spacious and wonderful, but old...Painting seemed inadequate as some of the doors and drawer fronts were worn or in need of repair. I felt almost embarrassed to have anyone take a long look at my kitchen ! When

arrived I rather sheepishly said " Welcome to 1948" and he calmly replied, " Yep, this is what I do ..." He was not phased in the least which gave me great confidence... Finally I had found the solution; keeping the 'skeleton' of our beloved cabinets and having them look brand new!
Everything about

was wonderful. Precise and clear with preparations and written estimate, spelling out our part in terms of preparing for his installation, he worked a miracle in two days - the heavy equipment moved in and out like poetry in motion!

was so careful to protect surfaces and staged his work space in a truly impressive manner.
Our only regret is that we did not know this was an option or we would have enjoyed an updated kitchen long before now!
I am so grateful for Angies List that

.We are in the

Big disappointment as their web site ...More was pretty decent and I was interested in talking to them about some extensive work but at this stage I am not sure they are even in business and if they are their lack of communication has got them written off our list”

We are now BIG fans of this place. We met three people that worked there, and everyone was kind, considerate and professional. The door looks BEAUTIFUL and exceeded my hopes. The man who did most of the work on it obviously took pride in his work and enjoyed it. He generously shared tips on the finishing process and helped us get the door loaded on ...More the car.

a draft auto cad drawing of the new kitchen cabinet layout. After a few changes, we sat down at his workshop and finalized the cabinet layout, door styles, and paint colors. I depended on his experience and suggestions, which included a matching frame for the ceiling, and other contractors to install the countertop and lighting. ...More When I asked for a little bling, he added a glass door, more molding, and cabinet lighting.
After sending him the specific appliance model information, he ordered the doors, built, painted, and then installed the cabinets.

also recommended and worked with the countertop installers, electrician, and another contractor to finish the ceiling.
The whole process took a little under 3 months.

organized all details, explained the process and wait times, and even spent time to get molding details, dishwasher cabinet, and puck lighting just right. The kitchen takes my breath away every time I look at it. The whole process was time consuming, but much easier and faster than I expected.”
